UNSPSC 50451512: Frozen organic violetta di chioggia artichokes

The variety of organic artichokes known as organic violetta di chioggia artichokes that have been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50451512 Frozen organic violetta di chioggia artichokes, a Commodity code, covers frozen specialty vegetable products that state and local governments procure primarily through food service and nutrition programs. The recent solicitation activity, however, shows a substantial mismatch: the three posted opportunities name this code but solicit broad food items including shelf-stable products (peanut butter, canned vegetables, pasta), fresh and frozen meats, poultry, seafood, dairy, grains, and non-food kitchen supplies—not frozen specialty artichokes specifically. Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners issued an informal written quote (IWQ) for approximately 1,062 cases of mixed shelf-stable food items for senior services; the State of Georgia issued a bid for food, supplies, and other kitchen products with scope details in an attached document; and the Early County Board of Education issued a line-by-line bid for National School Lunch and Breakfast Program items spanning 300+ food products and 60+ non-food supplies. The issuing bodies reflect typical state and local food procurement—county departments of community services and state food authorities managing senior nutrition, and school districts managing child nutrition programs.

Geographic activity centers on Georgia, with Gwinnett County (posted October 2026, due October 19, 2026), the State of Georgia (posted May 2026, due June 22, 2026), and Early County Schools (posted May 2026, due June 8, 2026) representing the recent pipeline. The code appears to carry minimal practical relevance to current solicitation activity; vendors pursuing frozen specialty vegetables should expect that actual opportunities will likely be tagged more accurately to broader food commodity or produce codes, or should verify with issuing bodies whether frozen artichokes are among the line items before responding to general food-service bids.
